All_Pro_Bills Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 1 hour ago, Tiberius said: No. That is what Hitler said, though. Blamed the whole depression on the Treaty. The Great Depression brought Hitler to power. In 1928 the Nazis got about 2% of the vote. After the Depression hit they topped out at 37% and seized power Hitler insisted the surrender of France during WW2 would be held in the very rail car the German's were made to surrender in after WW1. Obviously, that was a symbolic venue which resonated with the social mood of the country at the time. The terms of the treaty facilitated the hyperinflation experienced in Germany. Something that didn't appear in other countries. Compare that to the inflation rate in the US or the European countries during the 1930's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson forever Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) 1 hour ago, The Frankish Reich said: Silly nonsequiturs. America was, and is, great. That greatness is found not in some imaginary memory of a Garden of Eden, but in our ability to continuously meet new challenges and to remain the most productive people in the world with the greatest capacity for rewarding hard work and innovation. It seems to me that the America Haters are the ones who deny that this country remains great. That's the whole point of Make America Great Again. Exactly. Look at the crowds at MAGA rallies or the prose and knowledge of the MAGAs here. Most haven't been able to access the greatness of the American dream. They can't adapt to a changing world and labor market so they'd rather go back to 1 car, 1 tv, mac and cheese, tiny house standard of living. In that scenario, they're not so far behind and so resentful. America is still great for a great many. The country is about winners and losers. Always has been and hopefully always will be with well defined and administered rules for everyone. Fair competition makes America great.

Dems want to "fundamentally transform" America. As I repeatedly say, you can't love something if you want to fundamentally transform it. And America's greatness is hanging-on by a thread. But greatness doesn't automatically last and recognizing when things are starting to fall apart is the key. Not trying to change it to something it never was. As for rewarding hard work, are we? Or are things being dumbed down? Edited February 15 by Doc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The Bankruptcy of Bidenomics. Biden’s economic policies gave us three years of excessive, wasteful, and poorly targeted federal spending. Higher deficits, meanwhile, mean more spending on interest: “Rising interest rates and persistently large primary deficits cause interest costs to almost triple in relation to GDP between 2023 and 2053,” the CBO noted. Small wonder that Biden stopped bragging about the deficit. https://reason.com/2024/02/04/the-bankruptcy-of-bidenomics/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 The Lasting Damage of Bidenomics Real Clear Politics, by K. S. Bruce Recently, Democratic Party-cheerleading economist Paul Krugman declared, “Inflation is over. We won.” This is like a robber shooting you and then declaring, “The coma I put you in is over! We won!” The truth is that the wild inflation, high interest rates, bank failures, and other economic harms of the last three years were all entirely avoidable and all entirely caused by President Biden and the Democrats’ arrogant and unwise policies. This is not “Monday morning quarterbacking.” Some of us were saying this well before the fact. My May 7, 2021 column (“Joe Biden, Economy Killer”) accurately forecast the inflation, rising interest rates, and rising government debt service https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/02/24/the_lasting_damage_of_bidenonmics_150552.html .
